But anyway, I have one question. Why does everyone hate Midichlorians so much, could someone maybe explain this? It seems to be very common for people to dislike them.


The main reason that I hate the Midichlorians is they destroy a myth by adding in too much science. Before they came around the force was more of a religion, something that existed, but know one really knew why. Then all of a sudden its a genetic thing? That was a bit annoying, but to top it off, they are irrelevant to the story. I literally just cut out three words from ROTS and they were gone, with zero change to the actual story. They might have been forgivable had they been given something really important to do, like genetic force soldiers or something, but as it stands I prefer the force is what binds and unites us to the force is these little green things in your blood.

Also, glad to hear you like Attack of the Phantom. That was definitely a quality edit. If you haven't watched the commentary that comes with it I highly recommend it. Very insightful.

Darkhelmet, I'm hopefully going to take a look at some of your footage tonight. And whilst I sleep I hope to be able to render the opening segment of the movie so I can upload it. The catch will be to try and keep the opening right till when the invisible hand crashes at a small enough file size that everyone can download it.
